Destroyed building, study

Here is my six-wheeled amphibious tank-design with some improvements for the rig.

I tried to create a simple rig animation control with ground detection for the wheels and the suspension.

Also I added some animation-constraints for the steering wheels in the front and the rear, the guns and the outboards.

The animation happens on bone-layer 1.

Just for fun I created a driving through a wall physics animation
by using cell fracture.

Feel free to use it for non-commercial projects.

Modeled and textured in [3D-Coat](http://3dcoat.com/de/home/) for rigging and animating I used [Blender](https://www.blender.org/download/).

Cube Fracture

Much music, such Wow (turn the sound on) !

This visualization is based on the song **"I heard it through the grapevine"** interpreted by **Creedence Clearwater Revival** (originally from Marvin Gaye).

In a few (technical) words, I analyzed the sample through some Discrete Fourier Transforms, and linked the resulting spectrogram to shapekeys matching frequencies in Blender through Python. I'll probably play around some more with similar concepts in the coming weeks, and will try to share some scripts !

Here are a few bonus links:

Through the Grapevine

Description:
This model represents TrES-2b, one of the darkest known exoplanets ever discovered. Its surface is depicted as a scorched, volcanic world covered in obsidian terrain and glowing magma fractures, reflecting its extremely low reflectivity and hostile environment. The luminous lava-like veins cut through the planet’s shadowed crust, giving the impression of immense internal heat and constant geological activity. Designed for sci-fi and kaiju-themed settings, this model brings TrES-2b to life as a terrifying and alien world beyond our solar system.

Reforged in fire and agony, Anakin Skywalker ceased to exist the day the flames claimed his flesh. What remained was Darth Vader—more machine than man, encased in black armor that hissed with every breath. The suit kept him alive, but it was also a prison, a constant reminder of failure, loss, and betrayal. Each step echoed with pain; each breath rasped through lungs scarred by ash.

He served the Empire with ruthless precision, hunting the scattered remnants of the old order, burying his past beneath fear and obedience. Yet the past would not stay silent. Memories of love, of promises broken, lingered like ghosts within the mask.

When he discovered he had a son, a fracture formed in the darkness. Beneath layers of steel and fury, the conflicted heart of Anakin still beat—wounded, haunted, and yearning for something he believed he had destroyed forever...

He lay broken on the blackened shore, the air itself aflame around him. The river of lava spat and roared, its heat searing what little flesh the duel had spared. Limbs severed, cloak burning away to ash, he could do nothing but scream—at the fire, at his former master, at a galaxy that seemed to recoil from him. The ground trembled beneath him, mirroring the fracture within his soul.

Once the Chosen One, he now felt only the cold clarity of betrayal and the hollow echo of his own choices. The dark side, which had promised power enough to defy death, offered no relief from this agony. As the flames licked closer, pain became everything—body and spirit fused in torment. On that molten shore, Anakin Skywalker burned away, and something far darker waited to rise from the ashes.

“Neon Chrome” is the common name for Ferrum lumicyon, a propulsion‑hybrid armored platform developed during the transition from combustion engines to radiant‑core thrust. Its glowing conduits weren’t decorative, they were part of an experimental energy‑cycling system that redirected excess heat into stabilizing plasma bands along the hull. The oversized rear engine allowed short, controlled bursts of lift, giving the vehicle limited hop‑mobility across fractured terrain.

Its unexpected purpose emerged during polar research missions. The Neon Chrome’s radiant core produced enough ambient warmth to prevent ice‑lock, allowing scientists to traverse frozen landscapes without external heaters. Today, F. lumicyon is remembered as a luminous anomaly in armored engineering, half war machine, half wandering beacon.

Object: The Lawler Sphinx Monument
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Date Erected: 1850
Commissioner: Davis B. Lawler

Historical Significance:
Erected to honor Matthew Lawler (former Mayor of Philadelphia) and his wife Ann, this Egyptian Revival sphinx caused massive controversy. The cemetery's Christian directors initially objected to the "pagan" iconography. It was eventually permitted and became one of Spring Grove's most famous monuments.

**Preservation Status (Critical)**
While appearing resolute from a distance, this model documents severe, rapid structural failure. The stone survived its first 150 years well, but recent freeze-thaw cycles have devastated it. Massive mechanical cracks splitting the torso have been patched with modern sealants that are already failing. Furthermore, the extensive historical inscriptions on the base are actively sugaring and nearly impossible to read. This "Digital Twin" preserves the text and geometry before the next fracture.

**“Iron Leviathan”** is the common name for *Colossus ferrovitae*, a next‑generation armored platform developed during the era of autonomous battlefield engineering. Its dense, weathered plating wasn’t just protection, it housed a layered bio‑reactive alloy that subtly shifted rigidity under stress, a breakthrough meant to reduce catastrophic hull fractures. The clustered optics atop its turret formed an early multispectral array capable of reading thermal gradients across kilometers.

Its unexpected purpose emerged during environmental recovery missions. The Iron Leviathan’s immense stability and sensor suite made it ideal for navigating toxic, debris‑laden zones where human crews couldn’t operate. Over time, *C. ferrovitae* became less a symbol of war and more a rugged sentinel of restoration, proving that even the heaviest machines can be repurposed toward renewal.

A 3D model of the Cephalax, a terrifying alien entity with a skeletal structure resembling fractured porcelain. The creature features an elongated, conical cranium, hollow black eye sockets, and a permanent rictus grin. Its body is composed of segmented, bone-like plates with dark fissures, and it possesses long, spindly limbs ending in sharp, clawed digits. The model is designed for high-fidelity rendering with realistic subsurface scattering on the bone material.

Anthropomorphic whistle in the form of a standing dwarf with his left hand on his waist and his right arm, fractured,  extended to the side. He wears a feather headdress, a diadem decorated with discs and fringes, a hip cloth, round earflares, and an oval pectoral made of cut shell. This whistle figurine was made with a mold with details made by hand.

Alabaster Bowl

Paleogene red conglomerate, part of a unit of conglomerates and breccias caught within the southern fault zone of the Carboneras fault near Torre del Pirulico (north of Carboneras, southern Spain). The majority of the clasts, which are mostly well-rounded, are fractured and often sheared as well.

**Material:** Clay

**Dimensions:** 17,5 x 8,38 cm

**Dating:** 2200-1601 BCE

The artefact consists of a mixture of hard-fired clay containing small amounts of quartz. The outer colour ranges from light brown to black, while the fracture has a brick-red to grey colour. It is composed of pieces of clay of varying sizes. The surface has been carelessly smoothed. The body has a flat to wavy structure, with the upper side having a contrasting and slightly curved texture. The perforation is slightly off-centre and is in a vertical position. Ten shallow, irregular impressions can be found radially around the perforation on the upper side of the artefact.
